Comment on Why External Links Should NOT Open in New Tabs by Christopher Parsons

Right on! This is something that I’ve spoken about for years to a variety of web designers/developers, few of whom understood why forcibly opening windows or tabs was a bad idea. Thanks for the article that I can shove under their noses in the future :P

It is refreshing to see someone outside the world of work with disabilities give such thoughtful attention to how a common life occurance could be made more accessible. If people from all professions could consider their users needs and skills when designing their products and services the world would be a much more inclusive place.

Totally right.

Don’t impose your preferred browsing technique on your visitors. Let them browse however they are comfortable browsing.

One other thing to note: The simple back-and-forward-one-page-at-a-time navigation mentioned in the original article is no longer the only way to navigate the back/forward stack. Most browsers support jumping several pages back or forward via a click-and-hold on the back or forward button which, for savvy users, makes annoyingly repetitive-back-clicking a thing of the past.
